The pale colour belies the depth of flavour. Chenin Blanc like this is truly delicious. The lavender and honey, ripe grape and almond flavours go equally well with ripe cheeses or a squishy summer pudding. Four generations of the Gaudron family have been making wine in Vernou since the 1890’s farming 27-hectares, two-thirds of whose vines have an average age of 30 years.The cellars date back to the 13th century, with 1km of galleries burrowed deep into the rock where some cuvees spend several months in oak acquiring additional complexity and character.
